PAUL ACKERMAN, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Physician provider holding MD credentials at 12520 SHADY DR, LOS ANGELES, CA, 90049, with a listed phone of (310) 476-5818. NPI 1235163320 was issued on 07/11/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ACKERMAN most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 75 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 14 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 268 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 804 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
